Unpredictable situation in the group of U23 Vietnam

On the evening of January 9, U23 Vietnam defeated U23 Kyrgyzstan with a score of 2-1, thereby winning all 6 points after 2 legs. However, coach Kim Sang-sik's team still cannot be sure to win a ticket to the quarterfinals early because in the match in the same group afterwards, U23 Jordan defeated U23 Saudi Arabia with a score of 3-2, making the situation in this group even more unpredictable.

In theory, even if they win all 2 matches and have 6 points, U23 Vietnam can still be eliminated. As for U23 Kyrgyzstan, losing both matches to U23 Saudi Arabia and U23 Vietnam, they still have a chance to advance, although very slim.

Currently, U23 Vietnam has the right to decide for themselves when they just need not to lose to U23 Saudi Arabia in the last match to be sure of the top spot in the group. As for the team that has lost 2 matches like U23 Kyrgyzstan, they still have a chance to advance if they win in the last match against U23 Jordan, and at the same time U23 Vietnam defeats U23 Saudi Arabia in the match at the same time.

At that time, U23 Vietnam was the team that won all 3 matches, winning the top spot in the group with 9 absolute points. This forced U23 Kyrgyzstan to try to win against U23 Jordan (at least a 2-goal difference), and Vietnam won against U23 Saudi Arabia with any score.

If they meet both of the above conditions, U23 Kyrgyzstan will create a surprise in the group stage when from being the bottom team with 2 consecutive defeats, they will rise to second place in the group after the last match to win tickets to the quarter-finals.
